In the years of the Republic's relative prosperity, that
is from 1925 to 1929, the NSDAP was constantly searching for
issues that would bring it an enlarged following.
Repeatedly, however, it found little new to offer and fell
back upon the clichés which had characterized its
earliest forms of propaganda: Anti-Semitism.

This poster from 1926, with its caricature of a Jewish
intellectual, remained the old-stand-by for Nazi appeal. The
un-cut hair and beard, the yamulka, and the "oriental" eyes
were standard parts of this picture. The word JUDA, written
on the forehead in vaguely Hebrew script, is from the German
word for Jew, which is Jude.

The point of such propaganda was to claim that
International Socialism (of both the Communist and SPD
variety) were led by international Jews.
